Investment Thesis

EIF believes that environmental sustainability and strong financial returns are not mutually exclusive, and that the integration of economic and environmental sustainability represents a long-term, durable shift driven by economics. The firm is committed to using private capital to accelerate the transition to sustainability by identifying companies that solve real business problems while simultaneously addressing sustainability challenges. As stated by Managing Partner James Everett, they believe that ‘green ideas have increased potential for scale and impact when they are directed toward practical solutions of business problems.’

What Sets Them Apart

  • Long-term track record: Over a decade at the forefront of sustainability investing with deep expertise and pattern recognition
  • Independent approach: 'Resistant to hype and chart our own course' with a conservative, incremental strategy that reduces competition
  • Systems-level understanding: Intensive study of drivers for change and constraints within systems to identify market niches ripe for transformation
  • Focus on undervalued opportunities: Seek investments that haven't received proportional attention but can achieve significant impact with limited capital
  • Understanding pace of change: 'Sober about the pace at which large entrenched systems change and skilled at identifying how and when they will'
  • Impact + returns alignment: Demonstrate that 'there is no trade-off between having positive impact and achieving outstanding financial returns'
  • Proven exit track record: Multiple successful exits including PepsiCo/KeVita, SolarCity/Zep Solar, Schneider Electric/EV Connect, and Ford/AMP
